Description of Logophors in Ibibio
Newkirk, Lydia
This paper concerns the description of logophors in Ibibio, a Lower-Cross language spoken in
southern Nigeria. Logophors are grammatical forms used in reference to the person in a sentence
whose point of view is being reported (Clements 1975). In Ibibio, these appear as both individual
pronouns as well as agreement marking on the embedded tense and verbs.

Assessing Preschool Children’s Knowledge of Compounds from a Logico- Semantic Perspective
Brown, Rachel; Chu, Chia-Ying; Hess, Gretchen; Minai, Utako
Research in First Language Acquisition investigates three broad questions: What do children
know about language? When does this knowledge emerge? How is children’s knowledge of
language different from adults’ knowledge of language? This study adds to previous research
in FLA by investigating the interaction between logic and meaning in child language. This
study examines preschool children’s comprehension of the logical relation between a
compound and its head noun in comparison to adult’s logico-semantic interpretation of
compounds.

Notes on the History and Morphosyntactic Characteristics of Spanish in Northern Belize
Balam, Osmer
The current descriptive analysis provides a sociohistorical overview of Northern Belizean
Spanish (NBS), and it elaborates on salient morphosyntactic features of this understudied
contact variety, as evidenced in the naturalistic discourse of bilinguals/trilinguals from
Orange Walk, Belize. In particular, we focus on ‘determiner + uno’ constructions,
bilingual compound verbs and gender assignment and agreement in NBS.
